This year Katie played for our local sports club and had a blast!!! Katie is an amazing athlete, excelling in many individual sports including dance, gymnastics and swimming, but this is really the first true team sport that she has participated in. She did play on a soccer team through the YMCA when she was 3 ~ but she was 3, and dancing in circles, holding hands with her friends during them game and picking grass are the norm for kids that age.
Katie is our very sweet soul! She is a care taker, best friend to anyone and overall non-aggressive child. Fighting to take the ball away from another player doesn't necessarily come naturally to her. With that said, she did absolutely amazing!! We are SO proud of her! Even if she wasn't always the one who was taking the balls away from other players or scoring the goals, she was ALWAYS right there in the game. She ran hard and fought hard the whole game ~ with a smile on her face every minute! Since the season ended, Katie has asked on mentioned on multiple occasions that she wishes she could still play soccer. For now she is looking forward to playing basketball, which starts in January, and is also busy with piano (which comes completely natural to her!) and other upcoming activities such as gymnastics and swimming. Very fun!
